Hi all.....glad to have time to pop in here a bit!
We had a difficult situation last night!!!!!
My dear son has an obsession with skate boarding at the moment.....I bought him some finger boards yesterday, so he has been practicing all kinds of moves the whole evening! He even does kick flips with the tv remote control and just can t stop telling us talking about it all the time!!!! Me and his dad were watching some tv, following a movie.....when he came in and started talking and showing us stuff....when he didn t pick up on the non verbal cues, I told him that when I turn my head away and don t react it means that I m not interested, I m watching tv....he can show us later! Then he got upset because I don t care, not inerested in him exct (still not getting it)."
his dad told him to stop this behaviuor, unfortunately to direct, so he started some anoying behaviour....His dad got all upset, later realizing he didn t handle the situation so effectively....after plenty tears and emotionality.
Is this behaviour just normal naughtiness, or is it AS traid that he doesn t realize that he needs to give other people a chance to do their own thing, he can t be centre of attraction all the time. My husband thought he is being manipulative....I disagree.
Any brave suggestions that s been tried on this?
Thanx
